Meta Quest 3 Kiwi RGB Charging Stand and Battery Strap Review

The Quest 3 is a very sleek device that deserves to be on display. There aren’t too many great ways to display it though, and most methods aren’t very practical. The official charging stand exists and all, but it isn’t always the best option for everyone. It takes up a lot of valuable desk space.

Besides, it’s a plain flat white. Maybe you want something that’s more pretty. Maybe you want something with gorgeous RGB lighting.

And that’s where KIWI comes in on all counts. They have created a headset stand that is both beautiful and functional, and they’ve raised the bar even higher by making a Quest 3 battery strap that integrates with the stand seamlessly. This stand feels like you’re getting even better wireless charging and you’ll see why.

Unboxing the Stand

Right from the start, you can tell the stand is made with quality in mind. The box it comes in is sleek, nicely designed, and easy to open. No annoying difficult plastic bits to cut on this packaging!

Assembly Required

Putting the stand together is nice and easy. It has a few plastic parts that you just slide into place. Directions are also included both on the box and in the box to help you out. The instructions are easy to follow and shouldn’t give you any trouble.

The Stand in Action

The stand is a beautiful beast. It has a sturdy base so you won’t need to worry about your Quest 3 (or Quest 2 – it works for both) falling over. Be careful though, the tall part of the base does lift off of the bottom easily.

The real magic happens when you plug the stand in though. Did you notice the charging cable on the top part of the stand?

Plug that magnetic dongle in to your headset’s charging port and you now can just drop your Meta Quest 3 on to the stand and it will attach to the charging cable. You now have easy and quick charger access, all you have to do is drop your headset on the stand and the magnet will do the work for you.

Isn’t that awesome? It still feels like wireless charging, but with a more compact form factor. You still have a spot for your controllers too – there’s rings that fold out, and they fit my Quest 3 controllers perfectly even though they have a handgrip on them (you know, for those intense Beat Saber sessions).

RGB Lighting

The other really nice part about this stand is that it has RGB lighting. Having a full desk set-up utilizing RGB is pretty common these days, so the KIWI stand will fit right in. Personally, I’m a sucker for RGB, so I absolutely love this feature.

You can cycle through every color of the rainbow, or just have the rainbow itself on your stand. A power switch makes it easy to turn your lighting on and off as you please.

KIWI Battery Strap Integration

Another great feature of this stand incoming – it directly integrates with KIWI’s super comfortable Quest 3 battery strap. The strap itself was designed with the stand in mind – it has a magnet for the charging cable built right into it. You don’t even need to unplug it from your headset to charge it.

The entire experience is so seamless that it feels unreal. You get extra play time and when you’re done, all you have to do is place your headset down on to the stand. That’s it. You don’t even have to think about plugging it in. How cool is that?

Extra Juice

The KIWI battery strap itself is also most certainly worth mentioning. Aside from a longer playtime, it is super comfortable. It has a nicely padded rear headrest and upper strap that provide much more cushion than the stock head strap.

It also provides a very nice counterweight. Of the straps I have tried, this one in particular does a stellar job at distributing the weight on your head. It makes the Quest 3 feel exceptionally well-balanced, and it even has a strap to keep the cables out of your way while you play.

It has pivoting joints on the side that make it easier to remove your headset from your head too. That is always one feature that I super appreciate in straps. It seems like something so small, but it makes a really big difference.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I found both the KIWI strap and the KIWI RGB stand to be fantastic Quest accessories. I have used the RGB stand for weeks, and now I can’t imagine being without it. The battery strap is like the cherry on top – both combined are so user-friendly! You can’t really go wrong with either of these accessories. Personally, I love them both and would recommend them to any Quest 3 owner. If you’d like to pick them up for yourself, you can do so by visiting the link here.
